Present photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells for water splitting are based on inorganic electrodes. For future large-scale applications, electrodes that are metal-free, of low cost, and with sustainable availability are crucial. Herein, we report a new ambipolar larger azaacene (DQNDN) as a single-active-element-based photocathode in PEC cells with a current density of 0.13 mA cm(-2) at -0.13 V versus RHE.
